One of the authors of Tahoe-LAFS and the original creator of zfec, Zooko, co-authored a paper on the performance of such codes. http://nisl.wayne.edu/Papers/Tech/code-pf-fast09.pdf http://nisl.wayne.edu/Papers/Tech/code-pf-fast09.pdf Luigi Rizzo is the original author of the fec C library. I co-maintain zfec (and the Debian package of it) along with Zooko. A new release of zfec is planned to be out soonish. edit: removing the <> delimiters around the URL. Sorry!
